A JOB WELL DONE!
Having worked with Julia over a number of years and continue to work with Julia I have been impressed in the way she runs the auctions. Julia is extremely personable, confident and really commands the stage when performing the auction. Communicating and working with the vendors to ensure the best possible outcome while always maintaining full integrity to leave the ultimate decision making to the vendors. Keep up the great work and we look forward to many more years of successful campaigns with you.

“Julia is a standout in the crowd” Having used many auctioneers in my career including the top in the game I’ve found Julia’s style refreshing and impactful. Julia engages with the vendor to calm nerves and educate where needed then works the auction process with skill, ensuring we achieve outstanding results under hammer every time. Whether you are a new or highly experienced agent, Julia Rust will be a powerful addition to your business.

Yesterday was quite an emotional day for the sale of my mother’s house. and it was a fitting end to an excellent run campaign by yourselves and many thanks also goes out to Julia who did an excellent job as well as the other team members that assisted with the online auction The house sold for a price above my expectations and I must say my family was pleasantly surprised with the result, in particular my mother who was lost for words. Many thanks again to Aaron, Sonya and Julia and the team for a job well done.

As much as we make sure vendors are familiar with the ins and outs of an Auction, they have all hugely appreciated the opportunity to meet Julia before the auction; have a chat, ask questions and address their “what if’s” directly with their auctioneer. Once a sold sticker was on the board, all our clients have shared with us how much they appreciated their auction journey including the chance to meet Julia prior to “the day.” Besides providing more structure to the process, for the vendors it is knowing there is a plan in place and that means to them additional assurance. Julia’s effort invested in greeting the crowd before the auction itself sets the wheels in motion and when the “curtain goes up” Julia brings energy to the room! We have successfully sold many properties at Auction with Julia and we are looking forward the next one. We feel Julia is a great part of our team!

You did a fantastic job with both our recent auctions
We’ve really enjoyed working with you. Some things that really stand out are you have good, seasoned advice, along with great communication and have good control of the process, therefore you always gain a great result for them. You gel well with our vendors and give them a great run through on what to expect on the day. Best of all, we love your attitude towards us, our clients and your work!

Julia called a fantastic auction for us in Somerfield. She made our vendors feel comfortable and well informed as to what to expect. During the auction call she was assertive and persuasive in extracting bids from the active bidders and the final result exceeded anyone’s expectations. I enjoy working with Julia and recommend her experience and expertise to all auction focused agents.

Julia Rust is the Auctioneer we hand-picked for all of our auctions. She is very professional, innovative and diligent. Almost all of our auctions sell under the hammer on auction day. Julia plays a major part in our auction successes. She is the master at achieving further bids and extra money from the floor during the live auction. Julia is only too happy to meet with our vendors for reserve setting and is an excellent negotiator with both purchasers and vendors. We could not be more lavish in our praise of her amazing skills and vast experience in the auction process.

Having had Julia as my Auctioneer for a good number of auctions, I would most highly recommend her services. She is extremely professional and creates a very competitive environment and most importantly she reads the room so effectively, achieving excellent results for my owners.

My wife and I recently placed two rental properties with Joan Familton of Mike Pero Riccarton, and after discussion it was decided to put these up for auction. Then, on the basis of Joan Familton’s recommendation, we agreed to have the auction work conducted by Julia Rust.

These were not the first auctions we have attended over the years. Compared with previous preauction meetings, we found Julia to have a pleasing manner and also to be very thorough in going over the various relevant issues.
When it came to the first auction, the sale price achieved by Julia was far more than we had imagined even when in an optimistic frame of mind. As for the second auction, the sale price was amazing!
On the basis of our experience at these two auctions, we feel able to recommend Julia Rust in the highest terms to other property owners who are considering putting a property up for auction. In our view, her skill as an auctioneer is exceptional.
I have been in the real estate industry for 20 years. A couple of years ago I was introduced to an auctioneer Julia Rust, although never having heard of her before I went to watch her call her first auction for MPRE. Julia was impressive from the start, and she has not failed to deliver from that day forward. Julia’s knowledge of the whole auction process puts her up there with the best of the best. Her presence in the auction room puts the buyers mind at ease.
Agent Kelvin Howell
Julia comes across non threating, very interactive and as you would expect does the best for the vendors at getting the top dollar from the buyer in a way that the buyer doesn’t feel pressured into making one more bid to secure their dream home. No problem is too big or too small for Julia and she is always happy to listen and find solutions if you have one of them campaigns that hasn’t gone quite to plan. To sum it up Julia is friendly, bubbly, and knows her stuff and I am so pleased she is part of my team.
